Jjajang myeon (again!)
Like I said in my previous post, we ate Koreanized Chinese food for lunch today. I planned to do a Coffee Prince-inspired tour for my friends today. I thought of bringing them to the Chinese restaurant where Yoon Eun Hye and Gong Yoo’s characters ate “tang-su-yuk” or sweet and sour pork. The place is called “San-dong-su-gyo-dae-wang” or “Chinese Dumpling King.” It is located on a street more popularly known as “Yeonhee-dong mat gil” or “Yeonhee-dong’s Street of Flavors”, for the many restaurants located in the area.
We reached the place at 3:15PM and found it closed! They are close from 3-5 PM on weekdays. We were a bit disappointed but not totally disheartened 
We just took pictures outside and moved on. I have a not-so-nice picture of the exterior. I was carrying my son and trying to avoid the traffic.
We walked some more and found another Chinese restaurant. It’s called “Jin Bo” and has a very nice interior. I was “famished” that I didn’t bother to take pictures inside! We ordered four “sam seon jjajang myeon” (5,000 won each) and “tang-su-yuk” or sweet&sour pork (small for 14,000 won). They didn’t offer water but a fragrant jasmine tea. After lunch (a late one!), we took the taxi to the 1st Shop of Coffee Prince. I’ll blog about this later… we have a three-day weekend and we’re going camping!

I wish I was there with you, too. I like Coffee Prince, and Yoon Eun Hye, she’s a cutie.

You sound like a great tourist guide! If I ever go to Korea, I will be sure to ask you to show me around? Do you charge your friends? You would make a lot of money! =P

She is! and silver jegs too
Coffee at Coffee Prince is a bit expensive though. But it is worth it. It felt so surreal, having iced cafe mocha in a shop I saw on a Kdrama.

@ Beena, it’s funny when I see other people wanting to live elsewhere… don’t get me wrong, I respect your reasons for wanting to live elsewhere. But just the other day I was watching the Arirang Channel and they had this documentary about the Philippines and about foreigners migrating to the Philippines and raving about how their lifestyle and family life improved.
